Personal Narrative: The Joys Of Driving
The moment I once grew my brain was when I learned how to drive.

I also learned more basics to driving such as the controls, I took test to remind me of what I have learned I even wrote down notes. Writing down notes really help me out, and all of this learning at driving school really has my brain grow a little bit more with new knowledge. Once I had finished a bit of driving school, I used to go to corpus a lot back then and my mom used to let me drive. The reason she let me drive is because it is a straight highway, and not really much traffic. Then I was behind the wheel and getting some actual experience , Which even made my brain grow a bit bigger, the reason I say that is because, I believe that you have to experience some things to gain knowledge of it. My parents and siblings helped me out throughout the process of driving. My …show more content…
The reason why I had to go there was because not only I had to get my license but I also needed to know what I needed to get it. The told me that I had to take test and watch videos on a online course. What that course was is that it shows you some videos and driving and experiences teenagers had. The reason I had to watch it was for, I don't do the same mistakes and drive the right way. Hearing those experiences helped me out by not only not doing the things that those teenagers had done but to watch out for the ones that still do

    Once I learned to drive I realized the benefits to being older. Now instead of relying on my parents to pick me and drop me off places I now get to choose where I want to go and what time I want to leave (with some restrictions of course). The idea of growing old didn't scare me as much as it used to. In fact I wanted to grow even older. I wasn't as worried about "messing up" or making mistakes. I realized that no one is perfect and we all have our faults. If we didn't make mistakes as my mom would always say, "then you are not human." She comforted me, with this simple phrase that lessened my…
